By Daman Kaur
IV therapy subscriptions can provide recurring treatments and member benefits, but the value depends on how often you use them. Pure Drip Club’s documented $199 plan includes one Basic IV monthly, one B12 shot, 10% preferred pricing on add-ons, priority booking, and a minimum six-month commitment.
What the documented $199 plan changes
The documented plan replaces separate monthly bookings with a recurring payment and defined benefits. Its value depends on the current à la carte prices of the included services, the add-ons you would genuinely purchase, and whether priority booking matters to you.
That makes the plan different from:
- One-off care: you book only when a specific need or goal arises and pay the current price for that visit.
- A prepaid package: you pay in advance for a set number of visits or a defined credit balance, subject to the package’s terms.
- A monthly membership: you accept recurring billing and a commitment in exchange for specified monthly treatment and member benefits.
For mobile care, the monthly calculation is not limited to the infusion itself. Formulation complexity, nurse time, travel logistics, appointment length, and safety supplies can all affect the economics of a visit. Compare those mobile IV therapy cost factors before judging the plan by its monthly fee alone.
Pure Drip Club plan details: what is confirmed
Pure Drip is Nova Scotia’s first mobile IV therapy clinic, delivering nurse-led hydration, vitamin infusions, and Wellness Shots to homes, offices, hotels, and events. Pure Drip’s listed membership details identify the following configurations, but do not provide a complete answer to every billing or treatment question.
| Listed configuration | Confirmed benefits | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| $199 plan | One Basic IV monthly, one B12 shot, 10% preferred member pricing on add-ons, priority booking, and a minimum six-month commitment. | Whether the Basic IV or B12 shot can be substituted, how add-ons are defined, billing dates, unused-benefit rules, cancellation, pauses, refunds, and mobile charges. |
| Basic IV plus Glutathione IV Push configuration | One Basic IV monthly, one Glutathione IV Push, 15% preferred member pricing on add-ons, priority and after-hours access, and a minimum six-month commitment. | The current monthly price, substitution rules, availability, billing mechanics, and all cancellation or pause terms. |
The $199 plan is the clearest fit if you expect to use one Basic IV and one B12 shot each month and value priority booking. The Glutathione IV Push configuration may suit someone who specifically prefers that format, but do not assume it costs $199 because Pure Drip’s listed details do not assign a price to that configuration.
You can review the currently listed Pure Drip Club options, then ask for the exact plan terms that apply to your intended treatment.
How to test the membership math
The documented plan price is $199 per month. To test its value, subtract the current à la carte value of the included Basic IV and B12 shot from $199, then account for any add-ons you genuinely expect to purchase at the member rate.
Use this calculation:
Effective monthly cost = $199 - current à la carte value of included services - realistic add-on savings.
For example, if the current Basic IV price is B and the current B12 shot price is S, your unused monthly value is $199 - (B + S).
If you regularly purchase an eligible add-on priced at A, the 10% member saving would be 0.10 × A. Add that saving only if the service is eligible and you would have bought it without the membership. A discount on an unnecessary treatment is not a saving.
Do not call the plan cheaper than à la carte care until you have confirmed the current prices, included-service definitions, mobile or travel charges, and whether the benefits are available each month during the six-month commitment. The plan can still provide predictable access even when the arithmetic saving is modest.
What a recurring mobile appointment looks like
A recurring mobile appointment generally follows the same clinical workflow as a one-off visit. You arrange a suitable time and location, complete the required health assessment, review the intended treatment, and receive nurse-led care if the service is clinically suitable.
At a typical appointment, the nurse completes a brief intake, places the IV, administers an infusion that commonly takes 30 to 60 minutes, monitors you during treatment, removes the IV, and provides aftercare guidance. Understanding how mobile IV therapy works helps you plan a comfortable space and allow enough time instead of treating a membership visit as a quick drop-in.
Pure Drip’s mobile model can bring care to a home, office, hotel, or event. For recurring appointments, you still need to coordinate a permitted service location, provide accurate scheduling details, allow time for setup and treatment, and disclose relevant health information during screening.
Membership does not turn a treatment into an automatic monthly appointment. The included service remains subject to suitability, and the actual plan should match the goal discussed with the treating professional.
Which option fits the $199 economics?
The $199 plan makes the clearest financial case for someone who expects to use both listed monthly services and remain enrolled for at least six months. If your expected use does not match those inclusions, compare the plan with one-off pricing or a prepaid option using the calculation above.
One-off care for occasional use
Pay per visit if you book only after travel, a demanding training period, a late night, or another occasional situation. This route avoids the six-month minimum and lets you reassess your goals each time.
The $199 plan for predictable monthly use
The documented plan is built around one Basic IV and a B12 shot each month. It is the most straightforward option for someone who expects to use both, values priority booking, and accepts the minimum six-month commitment.
The alternate configuration for a specific treatment preference
The listed Basic IV plus Glutathione IV Push configuration may be relevant if glutathione is the specific service you want to discuss. Confirm its price, eligibility, availability, and substitution terms before comparing it with the $199 plan.
A prepaid option for a different commitment structure
A prepaid package can be a middle ground between occasional care and recurring billing. Compare its expiry, transfer, cancellation, and unused-visit rules with the six-month commitment before paying upfront.
IV therapy as a distinct delivery route
IV therapy delivers fluids or other ingredients through an intravenous route and involves a clinical procedure. The relevant comparison is therefore not just the monthly price, but also your goal, suitability for the planned service, convenience, and willingness to undergo a procedure.

For ingredients such as NAD+, a consultation should address your medical history, medications, goal, and expectations. A wellness infusion is not a guaranteed treatment for fatigue or illness and should not delay appropriate medical assessment.
Terms to confirm before accepting recurring billing
Pure Drip’s listed plan details confirm the six-month minimum for the identified configurations, but they do not answer every billing or treatment question. Ask for these terms in writing before enrolling:
- Payment: What day does the recurring payment process, and is there a signup fee?
- Failed payment: What happens after a declined or missed payment, and can an appointment be held or cancelled?
- Commitment: Does the six-month minimum mean six payments, six appointments, or another arrangement?
- Cancellation: How much notice is required, and is there a cancellation fee?
- Pause or hold: Can you pause during travel, illness, pregnancy, or another period when treatment is unsuitable?
- Unused benefits: Do an unused IV or shot roll over, expire, or disappear at the end of the billing month?
- Substitution: Can the included Basic IV be exchanged for another IV, a Wellness Shot, or a different ingredient?
- Add-ons: Which services qualify for the 10% or 15% preferred pricing, and does the discount apply to mobile or travel charges?
- Location: Does the plan cover your home, office, hotel, or event location, and are there travel-area limits or additional fees?
- Screening: What happens if the nurse determines that the planned service is not suitable at a particular visit?
Recurring care still requires appropriate health screening and clinical suitability. Review the provider’s screening, treatment, and safety information before treating a membership as a routine purchase, especially if your health, medications, or symptoms have changed.
Questions about IV therapy subscriptions
What is included in the $199 Pure Drip Club plan?
The $199 plan lists one Basic IV monthly, one B12 shot, 10% preferred member pricing on add-ons, priority booking, and a minimum six-month commitment. Confirm the current treatment, billing, and unused-benefit terms before enrolling.
Can I use the included monthly treatment for a different IV or Wellness Shot?
Pure Drip’s listed membership details do not confirm substitutions. Ask whether the Basic IV or B12 shot can be exchanged, whether a price difference applies, and whether the replacement must be clinically suitable.
Do unused monthly treatments roll over?
Rollover is not specified in Pure Drip’s listed membership details. Confirm whether an unused IV or shot expires, rolls into a later month, or is forfeited.
How does mobile delivery work for a recurring IV therapy membership?
Mobile delivery means a nurse brings the service to an approved home, office, hotel, or event location after scheduling and health screening. The visit still requires setup, IV placement, a typical 30-to-60-minute infusion, monitoring, and aftercare.
Can I pause or cancel an IV therapy subscription before six months?
The listed plans have a minimum six-month commitment, but Pure Drip’s membership details do not state whether an early pause or cancellation is permitted. Ask for the notice period, any fee, and the treatment of unused benefits before accepting recurring billing.
What happens if a recurring membership payment fails?
Pure Drip’s listed membership details do not explain failed-payment handling. Confirm whether access is suspended, whether a retry is attempted, and whether an appointment or benefit remains available while the account is unpaid.
Does an IV therapy membership remove the need for health screening?
No. Membership does not remove health screening or guarantee that a treatment is suitable at every visit. Pure Drip states that personalized treatment includes an assessment, and your health history, medications, symptoms, and goals remain relevant to each appointment.
Confirm the numbers before you join
Start with the documented $199 inclusions, calculate the value of the services you would actually use, and obtain the missing billing and treatment terms before accepting a six-month commitment.
